Math Problem Statement

derivative of sin ⁡ ( 𝑥 3 ) sin(x 3 )

Solution

To find the derivative of sin(x3)\sin(x^3), we will use the chain rule.

Step-by-Step Solution:

  1. Identify the outer function: The outer function is sin(u)\sin(u), where u=x3u = x^3.
  2. Differentiate the outer function: The derivative of sin(u)\sin(u) with respect to uu is cos(u)\cos(u).
  3. Identify the inner function: The inner function is u=x3u = x^3.
  4. Differentiate the inner function: The derivative of x3x^3 with respect to xx is 3x23x^2.
  5. Apply the chain rule: Multiply the derivative of the outer function by the derivative of the inner function.

The derivative of sin(x3)\sin(x^3) with respect to xx is:

ddx(sin(x3))=cos(x3)3x2\frac{d}{dx} \left( \sin(x^3) \right) = \cos(x^3) \cdot 3x^2

Thus, the derivative is:

3x2cos(x3)3x^2 \cdot \cos(x^3)
